Anyone had any experience with getting and fitting uprated valve springs for a Neo head ?

Am looking for a full set to upgrade a head I am using to go with Tomei type B cams

Does anyone know if 2.6 GTR valve springs can be used or is it Neo only ?

Other then that have only seen Spool and Ferrea who list them as available , unless anyone knows otherwise?

As for Ferrea I see they list them as needing to be used as a kit, does that mean with using o/e valves or with their own valves also?

Cheers

From what ive read today tomei actually make a valve spring kit for the type b cams. A few people have questioned the quality of the japanese springs on past posts however and yeh basically recommend ferrea as you said and if it says use as a kit id probably follow what they say....if the heads off then may aswell.

Alot of people couldnt justify the need to change the springs, as the type b cam is a direct drop in and does not require such a mod (unless they are rooted or your running mega boost)

Yes the head is off and plan to have it flowed and ported as required

I would like the engine its going on to be able to run up to 8.5k rpm but don't believe the stock springs will run to that?

Not saying it will use all the revs but providing its safe to that then I rather change them

Certainly whilst its in kit form I want to change them now rather then kick myself later

Will have another look at Tomei springs as I can't say I noticed them for a Neo, only gtst ?

Yeah definatly, I agree id do the same and change them all while its out for sure.

As for tomei springs, went through my history and yes it was for rb25 ( not neo). However i came accross performance springs australia....heres the link may be some kind of help to ya ☺

**edit**

Those ferreas look the goods and by all the reviews ive seen its definatly what id go with when it comes to replacing mine. Whether its a little more or not, i wouldnt go cheap on springs..

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
